"Who then, in law, is my neighbour?"

In 1932, Lord Atkin asked the question in Donoghue v Stevenson, “who then, in law, is my neighbour?” referring to broad legal principles. Today, we’re asking the same question about law school – who are the people among us who are going about doing great things, even while they are still studying?

It’s easy to miss those people creating positive change with all the exams, assignments and moots. “My neighbour in law” is focused on meeting those people and sharing with you how they, and you, can make a change, even without having finished their law degree.

We hope that you enjoy meeting everyone as much as we do and that, maybe, they’ll inspire you to make change as well.
